New Minecraft Updates

First and foremost, if you your child likes playing this game and you're not playing with them... get in front of that TV and learn the basics of Mincraft survival until you get hooked like the rest of the world.  If you need any tips from a Minecraft father like myself please comment here or on my Facebook page here.

Mojang announced some new features during the 2015 Minecon that should make some enthusiasts, both young and old, extremely excited.

First off is dual wielding.  Typically you have only been able to hold items in your right hand but now you will be able to hold them in both.  Some of the useful benefits of this is holding a stack of touches in your left hand and your pickaxe in  the right while mining long distance.  You will no longer have to switch between items that you use often.  You can also switch this combination up for those left handed folks out there.

There will also be new arrows introduced along with new enemies.  But another larger announcement is a revamping of "The End".  There will now be a different island for the end that will be much like the Neither where you will be able to go and explore.  Other ending levels will be created to help mix things up on the way to get to the Ender Dragon.
